Jean Genet : Jean Genet as a young man.  Prisoner, thief, novelist, Frenchman, prostitute, homosexual, adventurer, author of THE MIRACLE OF THE ROSE, and OUR LADY OF THE FLOWERS, THIEF'S JOURNAL and FUNERAL RITES.  Edmund White wrote a great biography, named, only GENET.  Satre's romantization of Gener may be a bit too much, but it is interesting.  He changed the playing field.

Zen Meditation in My Room : I live, for the greater part of my life, in a single room alone, and here is the window with my meditation cushions and a few other things.  Tibetan bags.  Yoga mat rolled up behind some cushions, stacked zabutans so if someone would want to join in, there is always a cushion for that one.

monkglen - me doing zazen at age 26  : From reading Hatha Yoga books and studying the Zen teachings in books by D.T. Suzuki and Phillip Kapleau, Roshi, I began a strict regieme of zazen for years in the woods where I lived.  This is me at 26 after a year of yoga and zazen.  My friend Wayne took this with a polaroid cheap cam and someone scanned it into a digital image in the early days of the internet.
